Luxury Lingerie for Women (Spanish Edition)
Category: la perla john steinbeck
This is the story of Kino, the fisherman, his son Coyotito, the victim of a scorpion's sting, and the most beautiful pearl ever seen, as well as the consequences of its discovery. However, the novel's great interest goes much further: in the confrontation between two worlds, the rich and the poor, and in the process of change in human relationships based on one's situation. Because this short novel allows Steinbeck to demonstrate his undeniable talent for describing natural life and exploring human behavior, ultimately forming a parable about the individual's relationship with society.
Passionate about marine biology, Steinbeck based the story of The Pearl on a legend heard in Baja California, but he imbues it with a human density that makes it one of the most intense and moving narratives in contemporary literature. A true masterpiece.
